Maui Resort Rentals Acquires Beachview Rentals Launches New Brand: Dream Resorts

Maui, Hawai‘i – October 2025

Big news from the vacation rental world: Maui Resort Rentals, the island’s top vacation rental management company, has officially acquired Beachview Rentals of Newport Beach, California. But that’s not all—this milestone also marks the launch of a brand-new parent company, Dream Resorts.

The announcement comes after a year-long integration process that brought together two highly respected brands in two of the country’s most desirable coastal destinations. The result? A successful first year that broke revenue and occupancy records for Beachview’s property owners—and laid the foundation for what’s next.

“We’ve been building toward this moment for a long time,” said Chris Geng, founder of Maui Resort Rentals and now CEO of Dream Resorts. “We knew the model we developed on Maui could succeed beyond Hawai‘i. What we’ve seen in Newport Beach has gone beyond our expectations. It was time to take that next step.”

From One Property to a Leading Brand

What began in 2010 as Geng’s personal vacation rental has grown into a thriving business managing more than 300 luxury homes across Maui. Beachview Rentals, with nearly 170 properties in its portfolio, has been a trusted name in Newport Beach for over a decade.

By bringing these two teams together under the Dream Resorts umbrella, the company aims to raise the bar for what vacation rental management can be—offering a blend of local knowledge, luxury-level service, and smart technology that benefits both guests and homeowners.

A New Home Base in Newport Beach

As part of the acquisition, Maui Resort Rentals opened a new mainland headquarters in Peninsula Village, a waterfront lifestyle complex in the heart of Newport Beach. Just steps from the iconic pier, the modern space serves as a hub for the Beachview team and the growing Dream Resorts brand.

Inside, the team includes industry veterans with backgrounds at world-class hospitality companies like Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, and Montage, all working together to bring a new level of service to the vacation rental space.

Technology That Works Behind the Scenes

One of the big reasons both companies have been so successful? Technology.

Dream Resorts operates on a proprietary software system that’s been developed over the past 15 years. It helps streamline everything from bookings and maintenance to guest communication—allowing the company to scale efficiently while still delivering personalized, high-touch service.

This approach has been key to the company’s rapid growth, allowing it to expand into new markets while keeping quality and consistency at the forefront.

What’s Next for Dream Resorts?

With its strong foundation in both Maui and Newport Beach, Dream Resorts is setting its sights on even more premier vacation destinations.

“Our goal is simple,” Geng said. “We want to bring the same five-star hospitality people expect from luxury resorts to the world of vacation rentals. Whether you’re a homeowner or a guest, we believe you should feel taken care of every step of the way.”

As the vacation rental market continues to evolve, Dream Resorts is positioning itself as a next-generation hospitality brand—offering the professionalism of a hotel, with the personal touch of a local host.
